320 APPENDIX BAttachment 5: Self-Talk Reflection JournalMon. Nov. 16th
Today is the first day I implemented my plan. Today I had nothing
due, but this week I have a load of assignments to turn in. Further-
more, I have two papers due, a quiz, and two tests. I’ve got to believe
I can do all of this. I’ve done it before. It is 9:30 p.m. right now. I
guess I can start studying. I can achieve... I can achieve... I’m try-
ing to think positive. This is hard. I’m saying the words, but do I
mean it? I’ve always been able to keep my head up before. Don’t
worry, this week will be fine! I know I can do it.Tues. Nov. 17th
Well, I’m about to head to class. It’s 7:45. I’ve got a quiz in this
class. It’s only two sections—I can handle it. I didn’t study that hard,
though, but I kind of know the material. I was worrying about my
other assignments. Well, I know it will be easy and just right. Oh, it’s
7:50 a.m. Got to go. I’ll pass!
Well, I’m back now and it’s 3:30. I’m about to go to work. The quiz
was okay—I think I did well. I was speaking to myself, trying to think
positive. I guess I’ll find out Thursday how I did and I’ll record it in
here. I won’t be able to write in here tonight, so I guess this is it.Wed. Nov. 18th
Well, today is my mom’s and cousin’s birthday. This should be a
good day. I’ve got to think positive today. It’s about 8:35 a.m. and
I’m about to go to my 9 a.m. class right now. Today I will turn in
my fourth writing assignment for my writing class. I worked hard on
it all last week. I think I did pretty well. I always get good grades on
my papers. It had better be good! Well, I’ll be back later.
Hello, I’m back from the library and it’s 11:30 p.m. I just finished
reviewing for my educ. psych. 110 test. I feel pretty confident, but I’m
worried that I’ll forget some information. Do you think I’ll forget? I
studied pretty well. Well, I’m going to call my mom right now, and
then sleep or maybe watch television?Thurs. Nov. 19th
Gosh, I hate waking up early for this 8 a.m. class. Today I have
my EDPT 110 test at 9 a.m. Aaah! I studied, but I don’t know. I’m
afraid I’ll fail. I know I can do it. I did well on Exam 1. Anyhow, I’m
getting my math quiz back from Tuesday. That should be cool! Well,
